Fitness

If you’re like me, you don’t necessarily want to go to a gym all the time. Or… if you’re like me, you don’t have the TIME to go to the gym (or gas money these days!). Personally, I have to work my schedule around the doctor and therapy appointments of a special needs child, picking up kids from school, and twin baby boys. So, needless to say, not only am I thankful for the opportunity to be able to work out at home, but to be able to use products from a wonderful company that has their act together! Not only do we get great prices on the fitness programs, we also get support online, accountability, a fitness schedule, a place to log our workouts online, and even a meal / nutrition guide. Beachbody has thought of all of these details for us!

And I can tell you how great these products are because I have used them! About a year after having my twins, I determined it was time to not only loose the excess gained weight, but it was time to get FIT again! I knew my worst area was my abdominals (anyone who’s had twins knows EXACTLY what I’m talking about). So, I bought Shaun T’s “Hip Hop Abs” and LOVE IT! When working out, you just sometimes need dance over hard-core training. It has been fun. I started to feel a change deep within my core.

THEN…

My hubby ran the “Tough Mudder” and realized how out of shape he was, too. He put a lot of effort into “training,” but it wasn’t the kind of training Beachbody offers! I determined I needed to get more hard-core and focus more on all body parts, and he needed a new “project” to work on. So, in March of 2011, we started Shaun T’s INSANITY!!! It’s a 60-Day program that is… well… truly insane! Insane in a good way. He challenges you, pushes you, and encourages you to make you look, feel, and be the healthiest you! He really makes you DIG DEEPER!

I can’t wait to show off our before and after photos. We have already felt, sometime literally, the inches falling off. We both feel better, have more energy, and will even be in shape for our summer vacation

I bring all this up to encourage YOU! What are you doing to make sure you lead a healthy life? Are you going to be here in 20, 10, or even 5 years from now because you are in great shape? Do you need the help of an accountability partner that will encourage you to keep moving? Society really isn’t promoting this. The food industry isn’t either. Unfortunately, in some cases, neither is the medical industry.

If you want to be the healthiest YOU for your husband or wife, your kids, or most importantly… for YOU… get motivated, get inspired, and get FIT. You may want to check out Beachbody. You can pick a trainer you relate to, a style you enjoy, and you can work them at your own pace or even challenge yourself more and keep up with the fitness schedule provided. These trainers know what they are doing and know how to get results! Don’t you want to share in that success and watch and FEEL the inches fall off and your energy come back?

I believe in the company so much and had such great success using their products, I now have my own marketing company in the fitness industry representing Insanity, P90X, TurboFire, 10-Minute Trainer, RevAbs, etc. Visit www.fitnessjess.com to check out all these wonderful products. You won’t be disappointed!

Also, I would be remiss if I didn’t share with you the wonderful product that Oprah featured in O Magazine in the May 2011 issue ~ Shakeology. It is PACKED full of nutrient-rich foods… yes, FOODS… not synthetic vitamins and minerals… FOODS that have the vitamins and minerals already in them. It has some of the world’s rarest (and wonderful) superfoods! They traveled to the Amazon River, the Himalayas, the Andies in Peru, and even the Middle East (to name a few) in search of the best foods on the planet. And now, they have combined them all into the “healthiest meal of the day.” It can replace a meal or even be a snack. It comes in Chocolate and Greenberry. Personally, I LOVE it in a glass with almond milk, peanut butter, and ice… just like a Reeses smoothie (Chocolate flavor, of course)!

For all the information you could ever want to know about Shakeology and all it’s healthy ingredients or to try “the healthiest meal of the day,” e-mail me at jessica.j.stone@gmail.com. It’s great stuff… with some of the best foods on the planet. How can you beat that?!?!
